We enjoyed our stay in Bob’s super cozy home. The house is very well furnished, we especially enjoyed that the kitchen had so great supplies and everything was there that we needed and even more. We’d definitely recommend staying in Bob’s mountain chalet :)

Perfect base to explore the area. Loved the chalet. Perfect balance between charm and all modern facilities. Bob was really helpful in suggesting places to eat out and explore the area. Les Contamines-Montjoie is a real hidden gem. We will be returning.

We somewhat randomly decided on this area based on our interests (skiing, charming villages, proximity to Geneva, Mt. Blanc, etc) and couldn't have been happier. While we were only a small family of 4 (originally there were going to be 10 of us), we had room to spare and thoroughly fell in love with Les Contamines-Montjoie and the surrounding area. The chalet is completely comfortable and the charming owner and his family couldn't have been any more helpful. The chalet and town is perfect for families or groups of friends looking to spend quality time together with a huge range of outdoor activities as well as dinning and sightseeing options. During our 7 night visit we spent a couple of days relaxing and familiarizing ourselves with Les Contamines/St. Gervais including grocery shopping, picking up ski equipment, 1 day in the Aosta Valley (Courmayeur), 1 day in Chamonix and Mt. Blanc, 2 days skiing Les Contamines-Montjoie which was amazing even though we didn't get any new snow during our visit and 1 day in Annecy. Nothing was more than 90 minutes away. Wish we had at least 2-3 more days and could easily have spent another week. I'd have given it 6 stars if I could and we would definitely like to return some day if possible. Thank you Bob for sharing your beautiful chalet with us and providing suggestions for restaurants, ski guides and all of the helpful local information which was spot on.

Lovely chalet. Lots of space, very comfortable, really nicely decorated, amazing views. We will definitely return in the ski season and would recommend it.

I visited the chalet as part of a group of 14, including 3 children. The chalet was perfect, had everything we needed, was clean and tidy and the area was superb. Les contaminés is a great little town and the ski area was great for a week. Big thanks to bob the owner for his texts during the week to make sure everything was fine and answering all of my questions immediately.

We had an amazing few days here in this lovely chalet. The communication from Bob start to finish was just excellent and he was extremely helpful sending through snow updates and answered any questions quickly. The property was beautifully presented with everything we needed and comfortable fitted all 9 of us. The wine on arrival was a nice touch! There was loads of room and the snug downstairs worked a treat for the kids and us. They would watch a move while we had wine and cheese around the lovely big table upstairs. We had family visiting from New Zealand so we wanted it to be perfect and it was. We flew to Geneva and used Alpybus to get to the Chalet which worked really well. My Dad (74)was with us and he was able to walk down and get the bus and on the odd occasion walked to the lift which was about 15 minutes. We hired the ski gear from the Intersport that Bob recommended and they were very friendly and allowed us to keep our gear there so we did not need to carry it back each day which worked well. The Restaurant at the bottom of the hill (50m away) was excellent. We did takeaway pizza one night and ate in the second night. The staff were super friendly and very accommodating. The skiing itself was just excellent and no crowds! I don't think we waited for a lift the whole time we were there and the slopes were very well looked after. We had kids aged 7 & 10 and the slopes were perfect for them and the adults. The fun park was great and we loved the "Coins" run. One night we walked into the main village and had a great meal at one of the many restaurants over there which was great. I have visited a number of resorts through Europe and this is defiantly a favourite. I could not recommend this Chalet and resort enough and I certainly will return. Thanks Bob for all your help and making it such a memorable holiday for the Kiwi family.

I highly recommend this property. We stayed as two families and grandparents. The house was split perfectly with 4 bedrooms downstairs including a newly created snug area with comfy settee and flat screen tv. This provided a useful area for the teenagers to go away from the main lounge. The other half of the family occupied the two bedrooms upstairs. The house is well equipped with plenty of plates and cutlery; large fridge, plenty of oven space and a dishwasher. Lots of space and very bright. Was perfect for us with elderly parents who were able to walk to the lovely town. The skiers amongst us were happy as the ski lifts were very close. The communication I had with Bob before, and during our stay was fantastic. He responded immediately to any questions we had and I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending this lovely house.

What a fantastic place! Highly recommended

We were two families with children 9,12,14,16 and 5 adults staying at the Mountain House. We chose Contamines partly due to the short transfer time from Geneva airport. We all had a fabulous time: the property was spacious enough for everyone to spread out and have privacy but also to come together in the lovely central space for meals and evening games. The house is very well appointed with everything you need (hairdryers, washing machine, tumble dryers, ski boot dryer) but also some nice touches you didn't know you needed (bluetooth speakers in the bedrooms, a great sounding hi-fi in the main area, a HiDef Smart TV , coffee maker and lovely throws on the beds). We used Thierry's Intersport Ski Rental in the Village on Bob's recommendation and got really helpful service and were also delighted with the recommendations on ski instruction we got too - the kids really liked their instructor and made good progress. We had one day of poor weather but everyone was more than happy to chill out in the property and really relax. The supermarket at the foot of the slopes had everything we needed and we enjoyed eating out at the friendly restaurant just 25 metres from the property. Definitely our favourite ski accommodation. Thank you Bob!

This house beautifully designed and located in one of the most picturesque villages Ive ever seen. Very close to skiresorts and nursery slopes. Great for large goups or famillies. Bars shops amenities all within easy reach.

We were a group of twelve staying for one week in this superb chalet! When we arrived, we found it to be very clean and ready to go. This place immediately impressed everyone with its spaciousness and character. It feels the way a chalet should with lots of wood and a vaulted ceiling in the dining room/lounge area. A nice touch was the wine on arrival, a great way to welcome a new group. We noted that the accommodation looked exactly how it had been presented in the photos on the website. The description was very accurate. My favourite piece of furniture was the massive wooden dining room table that accommodates a group of 14. After dinner the lounge area was super comfortable with big sofas and a big screen TV. The kitchen is a nice size and has room enough for a table that sits six or seven comfortably. The appliances are all newer and function well. It was a fun place to cook a meal with others. There is ample tableware and we never felt short of mugs or glasses, plates or bowls. We really liked the fact that tea, coffee, herbs, and spices were all on hand at the chalet, which made things that much easier and felt very friendly. The bedrooms were all clean and comfortable with great linen! I had slept great with the comfy pillow and duvet. There were easily enough bathrooms for all of us and, as with the kitchen, the extra added touch of toiletries being provided was very convenient and thoughtful. The ski resort and lifts are a short fifteen minute walk down the road and, if we timed it right, we could catch a free ride on a ski bus coming from the center of town. The skiing itself was excellent and is rarely crowded like some of the bigger places in the Alps. At times we felt like we had the upper slopes all to ourselves. The owner of the property was friendly, reliable and a good communicator. I would enthusiastically recommend this place to friends and family, no hesitation. For those that don’t ski, I imagine this would be a fantastic place to be in the summer months in the mountains.

This was my second time at the Mountain House and I'll certainly be back again! The chalet is beautifully furnished, really well equipped and in a great location. Les Contamines is a lovely resort, not too busy and there was plenty of snow!

This is the third time I have stayed at the chalet and it is even better now, the new kitchen is great. Five stars.

After a fantastic week in Bob's chalet last year we returned this year - and once again weren't disappointed. Everything was perfect - and the new kitchen is great!

As a mixed group of family and friends Bob's chalet was ideal. Bob catered for all of our needs and made our holiday a wonderful success. It was great to be greeted in person on arrival at the chalet too. The chalet is spacious and very well equipped for a large group (the garage and boiler room are superb for 14 sets of skis and wet gear)! The location was ideal, a short walk from the lovely village of Les Contamines and a manageable walk to the slopes (although I would advise the free bus service if you are carrying all your equipment)! Bob is very knowledgeable about the local area and both the taxi service and ski instructor he recommended were second to none! I would highly recommend a stay here! Thank you!

Abbiamo soggiornato in questo meraviglioso Chalet in occasione del ponte dell'Immacolata. Scrivere una recensione su questo posto è complicato poiché è semplicemente splendido. Per capirlo davvero bisogna obbligatoriamente andarci. All'interno vi è davvero tutto ciò che occorre ed anche di più. Bob si è rilevato anche sin troppo disponibile gia prima del nostro arrivo quando ha acconsentito l'ingresso prima del previsto per evitare di farci trovare ghiaccio sulle strada. Piano terra fantastico con vetrate da mille e una notte. Arredamento curato in tutti i particolari. Tavola apparecchiata con due ottime bottiglie di vino offerte da Bob. Cucina nuova ed attrezzatissima. Potenzialmente non avremmo dovuto neanche far la spesa prima del nostro arrivo grazie alla presenza di tutto il materiale necessario (carta igienica - detersivi compresi quelli per i piatti -spezie di qualsivoglia tipo e genere, etc etc..). Piano interrato con le camere anch'esso bellissimo con camere calde ed ovviamente ben arredate. Primo piano idem. Davvero uno degli chalet più belli che abbia mai avuto l'occasione di vedere. Box corredato da scaldascarponi, alloggio sci e tavole da snow. Piste a due passi ed il centro a 5 minuti a piedi. Il paesino è carino forse ancor di più rispetto a località più rinomate. I vicini disponibili e simpatici così come Christelle persona di fiducia del proprietario. Abbiamo soggiornato con altre tre famiglie per un totale di 14 persone tra adulti e bambini. Week end da sogno ed ovviamente non vediamo l'ora di tornarci.

Our extended family had a fantastic time in Bob's chalet this summer - Contamines is a brilliant playground for the family and the chalet was the perfect comfortable and roomy base for hiking, cycling, swimming - the parc de loisirs is amazing - and visits - the lake at Passy is a must. Spectacular location and the chalet has everything we needed including a top BBQ and huge garage for storing bikes and gear. Bob was super helpful with the booking. Can't fault it, we'll be back!

This was an extremely comfortable ,spacious and well equipped chalet in a beautiful area. Our group of 8 "mature" adults really enjoyed our stay.......the walking was good and so were the restaurants in Les Contamines.! I would recommend this property to friends and relations.

Abbiamo noleggiato lo chalet per una settimana a Giugno di quest'anno. L'ambiente è fantastico con una vista magnifica delle montagne.Tutto ciò che riguarda lo chalet era perfetto. La posizione (~ 15 minuti a piedi dal centro paese) , le strutture (tra cui salotto, cucina, camere, completamente attrezzate) , i padroni e la casa stessa erano tutti meravigliosi. Non avremmo potuto chiedere di più dalle nostre ferie e ci piacerebbe tornare presto. 5 *****

Hervorragend, das Chalet ist wirklich gut angelegt, groß, komfortabel und außergewöhnlich gut ausgestattet. Eigentümer waren sehr herzlich und sehr hilfsbereit. Die Umgebung ist atemberaubend mit super Aussicht auf die Berge. Die Lounge, Terrasse und die Küche sind sehr kontaktfreudig mit einem riesigen Sitzbereich, wo man sich einfach hinsetzen und unterhalten kann. Tolle Zimmer, sauber Badezimmer, super bequeme Betten mit feinster Bettwasche. Und zu guter Letzt die Lage ist großartig. Ich kann es nur sehr empfehlen das Chalet für alle Altersgruppen. Wir hatten 5 Erwachsene und zwei Kinder hier! 5 Sterne! Lokale Restaurants, Supermarket und Shops ein paar Minuten entfernt. Alles war perfekt.

Echanges préalables avec Bob (UK) très fournis et rassurants, et accueil pro et sympa par Christelle (FR) sur place. Nous étions 12 adultes et enfants très à l'aise (chalet sur 3 niveaux) sans jamais se marcher dessus ! Grand parking privatif propre au chalet juste devant l'entrée de l'ancien garage reconverti en grand local pour s'équiper. Déco refaite à neuf pour l'essentiel (literie + salon top) et équipements divers disponibles top : énorme grille pain de famille, cafetièreS piston et expresso, robot multi-fonctions, fondue électrique, couteaux qui coupent,... wifi, et raffinements pour la musique dont ampli avec antenne bluetooth, top ! ET sèche chaussures de ski/rando aussi, top top !! Village à portée de petite ballade à pieds (10-15') et commerçants sympas et pas au prix prohibitifs comme quelques kms plus loin (superetteS, charcuterie-fromagerie, restaurants, bar, presse... tout quoi ;-) . On a même eu droit à une soirée en extérieure "NRJ Tour" sur la patinoire extérieure du village, top pour les ados amateurs ! ON RECOMMANDE (et nous ne sommes pas de la famille ou des proches, juré ;-) !!!
